Inconceivable

When Rebecca Coxon uploaded her genetic data to an ancestry website in 2016, she had no idea that she was sparking a chain reaction of unravelling secrets that would come to redefine everything she thought she knew about identity and the meaning of family. A deeply honest and raw work, Inconceivable charts Rebecca's phenomenal story - as both product and patient of IVF, donor-conceived and a donor herself - and provides an intimate lens into the consequences of our choices about how we create new life. It is a moving portrait of how secrets can break and remake us, and how love can transcend decades of stigma and shame. Timely and timeless, Inconceivablewill also interweave Rebecca's own experience with those of famous figures - Marilyn Monroe, Frida Kahlo, Hilary Mantel, Lena Dunham and her biblical namesake - whose lives and work were shaped in some way by infertility.
